single, 1973
Written by Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood
The title kid is a pool wizard who comes in like a rock star, winning all the games and getting all the attention. The song's narrator half admires and half resents him: "All the women crawl around him like he's Getty's son / Makes you kind of jealous but it sure is fun / I don't mind, but he wants my lady too." He vows to beat Richard one day. But that day is not today. It's a great rocker, with Stewart belting it out like he means it.
